It is a matter of fact: grooming is an extremely important aspect of owning a horse, and the proper grooming technique is essential for horses that are used in competition. How often should you groom your horse? Well, that is debatable, however most specialists recommend grooming a horse daily. You may find that this is not always possible. Whether you have a set routine or not, regular grooming helps to ensure your favorite horse is healthy and comfortable.
Five top reasons for daily grooming include:
- Better health for the coat and skin
- Lower risks of various health issues (Scratches, thrush etc)
- Cleans the horse, thus reducing areas of chafing
- Enables the groomer to check the horse’s health
- Ensures a healthy relationship between the horse and groomerh
Cleaning your horse’s stable (Mucking) up to three times a day also ensures that your horse is clean and happy. Using fresh pine shavings during every cleaning helps soak up urine – providing a nice clean bedding for your horse
